Но, на уровне, где нужно из кучи предметов в центре их нужно растащить по парам по экрану глюк? я и сама делала (на телефоне не удобно совершенно, как будто уровень для планшетов), и два раза полностью прошла уровень подсказками - но ничего не происходит в конце. так и сижу на этом уровне, на новый не переходит. ### 4/5 — Relaxing. *2019-06-05, version 1.0.13* Fun game. A bit glitchy but worth it. ### 5/5 — Fun, different and relaxing *2019-04-04, version 1.0.13* Different and fun game ### 5/5 — Love it *2019-03-20, version 1.0.13* Wish it was longer ### 5/5 — Relax! *2019-02-20, version 1.0.13* Great way to wind down, relax, no pressure, play a few minutes at a time or as long as you want. Some games are really story, character, time and figure it out driven. This is for relaxing. Great colors, super cute things, really pretty pictures that will make you smile. I love them!! It’s not your typical HO game and that’s what makes it great! It isn’t meant to be. Easy to know what to do, with plenty of variety to keep things interesting. ### 5/5 — Really fun game *2018-12-27, version 1.0.13* This is like the witches tales, and that was fun to play. This is a game that I will play many times as it’s quite relaxing no having to go back and forward to find things. Well done, hope we get more of these games. ### 5/5 — Lucy *2018-12-06, version 1.0.13* Another great game, a bit repetitive on the H O G but the other games are great. Not too many adverts, and quite challenging. I have downloaded several other Absolutist games so am looking forward to playing them if they are as good as this one. ### 4/5 — Schönes Spiel, aber nicht komplett werbefrei *2018-12-05, version 1.0.13* Einen Stern Abzug gibt es, weil ich bei jedem Start des Spiels nervige Werbung bekomme, obwohl ich für die Werbefreiheit des Spiels bezahlt habe!!! Ansonsten gefällt mir das Spiel sehr gut. ### 5/5 — Great game *2018-10-12, version 1.0.13* Can’t put my phone down Really great game Very addictive ### 5/5 — Spirit of the Ancient Forest *2018-08-20, version 1.0.13* Ein abwechslungsreiches und spannendes Spiel mit unterschiedlichen Herausforderungen. Man kann einfach nicht aufhören. Sehr empfehlenswert ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2018-08-09, version 1.0.13* Had this for many weeks now & find myself playing at every opportunity & not at all getting bored! It’s incredibly fun & interesting, with levels of difficulty for every ability. Would just love for scores to be kept so I could try to beat previous scores. Well done developers for such a brilliant game, wish I could give 10 stars. ### 5/5 — Beautiful and challenging *2018-06-14, version 1.0.13* Like the title says this game is beautiful and challenging at the same time. I will be purchasing this game. ### 5/5 — Excellent. *2018-04-27* A unique and different match game with free hints. I play it all the time. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No updates 😡 *2019-04-20* The game is really good but you soon come to the end. It was not worth buying because no more updates for a year 😡 ### 1/5 — Love clutter hidden objects!!!! *2019-02-18, version 1.0.13* **UPDATE: ADS NOW????? W*t*f*???? Lowering rating … Didn’t know you had another one these clutter-type games, this is so much fun! It’s a nice break to play in between the story-derived hoag Please Please Please make more!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ ### 1/5 — Nicht zu schaffen *2018-09-13, version 1.0.13* Nachdem ich dasSpiel gekauft habe bin ich an ein Level gekommen, was in der vorgegeben Zeit nicht zu schaffen ist. Außerdem reagieren die angetippten Teile nicht und die Zeit läuft weiter. Kann ich nicht empfehlen. ### 1/5 — Was für ein bescheidenes Spiel! Ist das Geld nicht wert! *2017-12-29, version 1.0.12* Es gibt nur 2 unterschiedl. Rätsel - ein Puzzle aus wenigen Stücken und ein Suchspiel mit der Variation zwei bzw. drei gleiche Gegenstände zu suchen! Und die Gegenstände sehen immer gleich aus! Ich habe selten etwas langweiligeres gespielt! Von der Graphik, der Musik und auch der Story ganz zu schweigen! Die ausschl. sehr positiven aber auch sehr wenigen Bewertungen kann ich mir beim besten Willen nicht erklären! FINGER VON LASSEN ### 2/5 — TERRIBLE!!! *2019-04-25, version 1.0.13* This game quit working on the third third time I tried to play it. ### 3/5 — Schönes Spiel aber …. *2021-11-06, version 1.0.13* Eine schöne Spielidee aber das Spiel hat Fehler. Manchmal reagiert ein Teil nicht und die Zeit läuft weiter. Nachdem bei Lewel 40 immer noch nichts gespeichert war, habe ich das Spiel gekauft, weil ich dachte es liegt an der Demoversion. Leider nein, es wird immer noch nichts gespeichert. Habe einen neuen Namen angelegt, auch umsonst. Außerdem dachte ich nach dem Kauf gibt es noch andere Spielversionen. Leider nein. Warum habe ich es überhaupt gekauft?! Eine Antwort wäre schön ### 3/5 — Hallo *2019-02-01, version 1.0.13* Nach jedem Spiele immer gleich Werbung, das nervt . Sonst finde ich es eine schöne Abwechslung. Bitte keine Werbung mit Gewalt, denn Kinder spielen es auch gern . ### 3/5 — Для разработчиков *2018-03-13, version 1.0.13* Игра отличная. Но есть проблема с прохождением 14 уровня. Перемещать предметы могу а собирать не получается ( не нажимается почему то) но кристаллы собирает. ### 3/5 — Where's the story? *2018-01-03, version 1.0.12* Such a disappointment. I'm torn because their last HOG was a great game. This isn't like any of their other games.(Dreamscape, witches prank, contract with the devil) This to me isn't a hidden object game at all, but a find the match and then you read a little about the story. After you find the match again in the next "round" you read a little more about the story. It's not a story driven hidden object game like I'm accustomed too. I am a huge fan of the HOG, have thousands of games throughout the years and Big Dish, G5, Five BN, Artifex Mundi, etc, those are the story driven HOGs. This isn't. If you like the type of game that doesn't have a real story, doesn't have actors, voice overs etc, then this is your game. I couldn't take but 10 minutes of find the match. I was done after that. Highly disappointed because it's been forever sense this developer came out with a new game, and their last one was a huge hit to me. I wish they would go back to the story type HOGs. Sorry but I can't give more stars for this. My rating is a 2! 😞 🎄🎊Happy New Year to all the wonderful HOG players/reviewers out there! 🎄🎊 ### 4/5 — Enjoyable *2022-06-12, version 1.0.13* Found on Windows 7 too & didn’t expect to find it on the App Store. It’s good but the modes of play don't seem to work. For example I want to play on ‘very casual’ without time limits so I can walk away to do other necessary stuff for short periods but it times out too quickly. It seems as though there is always a too fast time limit. Doesn’t give much of a break for one’s eyes through all the searches. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great game!! *2026-04-14, version 1.0.13* It’s crazy how people prefer to play popular games that harass you with ads and have moneygrabs everywhere. Games like this are gems! ### 5/5 — Enjoyable *2025-08-30, version 1.0.13* Found on Windows 7 too & didn’t expect to find it on the App Store. It’s good but the modes of play don't seem to work. For example I want to play on ‘very casual’ without time limits so I can walk away to do other necessary stuff for short periods but it times out too quickly. It seems as though there is always a too fast time limit. Doesn’t give much of a break for one’s eyes through all the searches. Thankfully few ads than it’s competition hence lasting a long time with me. ### 5/5 — Challenging & Fun Game *2021-11-11, version 1.0.13* Love this game. Some levels took me days to complete. I’d love to see more levels added!!!! ### 5/5 — No running out of energy *2021-04-01, version 1.0.13* The puzzles are hard but you can repeat them as many times as you want without having to pay money ### 5/5 — Good game *2020-06-04, version 1.0.13* Fun ### 5/5 — Super tolles Spiel *2020-05-29, version 1.0.13* Das Spiel lässt mich abschalten vom Stress und macht Mega viel Spaß!👍 ### 5/5 — Татьяна *2020-04-21, version 1.0.13* Игрушка замечательная. Жаль, что разработчики исчезли и нет обновлений ### 5/5 — Love this! *2020-02-25, version 1.0.13* Don’t like the timer. Happy they have a very casual mode. I like to play at leisure. Great way to pass some time. ### 5/5 — Spirit the ancient forest *2019-10-20, version 1.0.13* Brilliant keeps your mind active ### 5/5 — Spirit of the Ancient Forest *2019-04-08, version 1.0.13* The hidden object scenes are challenging without being too difficult. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
